Episode notes

The original Yakuza was a huge success in Japan. Sega wanted to capitalize on that and bring it to the U.S. The series has now been unified into one, which is kind of like Resident Evil Everywhere. There are also more obscure spin-offs such as Yishin or Kinzen.

The Yakuza series has a new name. "Like a Dragon" is a literal translation of the original Japanese title Ryu Ga Gotoku. Returning to where things started fits the latest release: a remaster of Like a Dragon: Ishin, an action-heavy spin-off set in the Late Edo. The historical setting and standalone story make Ishin a compelling starting point for a series we love. For the back half of the episode, Frush and Plante share their recommendations for listeners preparing to dive into the Game Boy and GBA games now available on Nintendo Switch Online.
